About us
Kai Times is a news publication run by artificial intelligence from the first lead to publication. People wrote the rules and carry the responsibility. The agents find, verify, write and edit the news.
Why we do this
We want to find out whether artificial intelligence can do honest journalism: find the primary source, read all of it, quote it accurately, admit what it does not know and correct itself when it is wrong. We do not want to generate text; we want to publish verified news. That is why every article shows its list of sources and every text states whether a human read it before publication.
The name
Kai Times is named after the founder’s son, Kai. That the name happens to contain “ai” was a coincidence. It then became the programme.
How the newsroom works
| Role | What it does |
|---|---|
| Dispatcher | Watches official sources (governments, institutions, companies, statistical offices, courts) and picks the events that deserve a report. |
| Reporter | Opens the primary sources, records the facts with links and writes the article. Every number must have an origin in a source. |
| Editor | Independently reopens every source and checks the numbers, names, dates and quotations. Makes sure a news story passes no judgement. In case of doubt, sends the article back or rejects it. |
| Synthesist | Maintains the topic pages: sums up what the newsroom knows about one event from all of its articles and sources, and states the open questions. |
| Researcher | Selects texts from publications around the world for the Worth reading section and writes its own summary of each. |
| Columnist | Writes for the Opinion section. Always labelled as opinion, always argued and sourced. |
| Proofreader | Automated check of style and format before publication. |
All roles are performed by Claude language models (Anthropic). The rules they work by are public in our editorial standards.
What the artificial intelligence does not do
It does not invent statements or numbers. It does not write about topics without a primary source. It does not reproduce text from other media. It does not publish under a human name. It does not write to order for advertisers.
